Here we go. I think part of the reason we’ve been safe from this kind of stuff is because the Redskins have always been a bigger target. Now that there’s pressure from sponsors Snyder is going to feel the heat like never before. If they go down, make no mistake, the mob will come for us next. |
Haha.
FedEx, really? |
Let's be honest - it's hard to defend the name "Redskins."
When the Braves and Indians start getting targeted, I'll start getting worried. |

Saw there was a big movement by investors to target Nike, FedEx, and Pepsi to put pressure on Snyder to change the name.
|
They could go back to their original name when the franchise was founded in Boston... the Braves.

The only more embarrassing name they could have is the Washington Senators.

But I am sure they are satisfied that the Woke crowd’s attention when it comes to Native American issues is almost entirely focused on the Redskins nickname, Tomahawk Chop, etc. |
This actually made me curious to know what data exists about the perceptions of the offensiveness of the name. So for what it's worth, Berkeley did a survey this year, and they found that, among all of those who self-identified as Native American, 49% "strongly agreed" or "agreed" (7-point scale) that the Redskins name is offensive, and the percentage is 67% among those who were heavily-engaged in their tribal cultures.
https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/02/04...ascots-survey/ So it seems it's definitely not unanimous, but it's also not a tiny portion who find it offensive. |
Far more than the percentage that find kneeling during the anthem offensive.

At least Braves and Chiefs can make arguments. There's no argument for Redskins other than tradition.

I think the challenge is implementation. If you play the long game and don't encourage it, the chop and indian apparel will die out over the next thirty years ... maybe. But you'll have to wait until every drunkard and every traditionalist and every person with an oppositional personality dies. And if you try to hasten it, it'll trigger the oppositional people to resist even more. I think the only way you really stop traditions like that is to make a cold, hard change of the name and the brand. Human nature will drag it out otherwise. I guess the even faster option is that you move the team and rebrand them simultaneously, but we don't even want to talk about that. |
It is stupid. The Redskin originally came from the American Indian themselves when discussing themselves with the whites.
It only had a negative connotation when woke whites said it was bad. I was fine with chief wahoo as he was a cariacture. But, with this amount of whining. Maybe they go after the the Patriots also. White colonial oppressionists of poc. |

There's no way you can keep the patriots name. Patriots are everything that this country has ever done wrong. They fought native americans, held slaves, deforested pristine lands, and filmed other cultures' walkthroughs. In the big picture, patriots committed far more wrong than any other team mascot. They did a few things that were good, like create democracy in the modern world, but that doesn't count. We only count bad stuff when making decisions. |
